"In health there is freedom. Health is the first of all liberties."
-- Henri-Frederic Amiel

"World Health Day is an opportunity to highlight the problem, but above all, to stimulate action. It is an occasion to call on all partners -- governments, international donors, civil society, the private sector, the media, families and individuals alike -- to develop sustainable activities for the survival, health and well-being of mothers and children. On this World Health Day, let us rededicate ourselves to that mission." ~ Kofi Annan

"Children are our future, and their mothers are its guardians. And yet, this year alone, more than half a million women will die in pregnancy or childbirth. Almost 11 million children will die before they reach the age of five -- 4 million of them in the first month of life. Almost all these deaths will happen in developing countries. A large number of them could be prevented.

When adopting the Millennium Development Goals five years ago, the world's governments promised, by the year 2015, to reduce maternal deaths by three quarters and cut child mortality by two thirds. While there has been progress in some regions, there has been stagnation in others. In some countries, progress has even been reversed.

World Health Day is an opportunity to highlight the problem, but above all, to stimulate action. It is an occasion to call on all partners -- governments, international donors, civil society, the private sector, the media, families and individuals alike -- to develop sustainable activities for the survival, health and well-being of mothers and children. On this World Health Day, let us rededicate ourselves to that mission."
~ Kofi Annan

He who has health has hope; and he who has hope has everything.
~Arabic Proverb

"There is simply no good reason why in the 21st century, thousands of women and children in developing countries should be dying during childbirth and the early years of life.
~ Honourable Aileen Carroll, Minister of International Cooperation, CIDA

 

"Demand that your government pays more attention. It's immoral that people in Africa die like flies of diseases that no one dies of in the United States. And the more disease there is, the more political unrest there will be, leading to more Darfurs, which the U.S. will have to pay to fix." ~ Bill Clinton

* America's health care system is neither healthy, caring, nor a system. -- Walter Cronkite

* "UNICEF is helping mothers realize their dreams for the future — a future in which the basic needs for a child’s survival: food, clean water and simple health care — are guaranteed." -- Jane Curtin

 

The power of love to change bodies is legendary, built into folklore, common sense, and everyday experience. Love moves the flesh, it pushes matter around.... Throughout history, "tender loving care" has uniformly been recognized as a valuable element in healing.
~ Larry Dossey
